A dark world today
Oppressive, simmering just
Beneath the surface
Clear sunny days. Fresh
Green buds, soft petals, light breezes.
A prelude to heat.
Tired days, sleepy
Stay abed and dream, then stretch,
Turn, to dream again.
Early morning drive
Lights dance on wet roads, raindrops
Sparkle on windscreens.
Doors close tight, locked.
Dark within, no light. There is
No way out this time.
Obstruction is the rule
Chest thumping, greedy fools
Self interest reigns.
Celebrate things round
Honor pi today, where we
Write months before days
Cold seeps into bones
Shivering all day, tired
Of constant winter.
Ah technology
Plastic and magic, wireless
And then frustration.
Night, dark and smooth, wraps
Me in velvet, darkest blue.
Descent into sleep.
Time Flies Like an Arrow
